Okay, so I installed ultravnc on windows server 2003. It uses the ultravnc.i.i file to store password and configuration information. But I'd like to be able to set the password using the command line.
There is a tool called vncpwd: http://www.sysworksoft.net/products/vncpwd.html
But it's old, and when you use it to change the password, it changes the password in the system registry instead of the ultravnc.ini file.
But, you can set ultravnc to use the registry instead of the ini file. Success? No. I set ultravnc to use the registry (which stores the hashed password that I set using vncpwd), but, it still uses the password in the .ini file.
does anyone know what gives.
